From this school institution, several hundred manuscripts survive, all in Italian, often containing not only what the masters needed in their teaching but also algebra or other advanced mathematical material. A signal feature of the book by Jens Høyrup is the first translation of one of these abbacus manuscripts into English....The abbacus books have long been supposed to be reduced versions of Leonardo Fibonacci’s Liber abbaci. Analysis of early abbacus books, not least of the first specimen treating of algebra – Jacopo da Firenze’s Tractatus algorismi from 1307 – shows instead that abbacus mathematics was an exponentof a more widespread culture of commercial mathematics, already known by Fibonacci, and probably flourishing in Provence and/or Catalonia before it reached Italy. Abbacus algebra – eventually the main inspiration for the algebraic breakthrough of the 16.th. and 17.th. centuries – was inspired from a Romance-speaking region outside | | 出版日期 | Book 2007 | | 关键词 | Abbacus; Area; Fibonacci, Leonardo; Jacopo da Firenze; algebra; bridge; eXist; presentation | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7643-8391-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7643-8391-6Series ISSN 1421-6329 Series E-ISSN 2296-6080 | | issn_series | 1421-6329 | | copyright | Birkh�user Basel 2007 |
